"DO NOT force yourself to improve your health."Jenny suddenly stopped from entering the room when she heard Edwin's voice inside Amber's room."I won't let it happen, anyway." Edwin smirked at his wife.Jenny looked around first, when she made sure there was no one else, she put her ear to the ajar door."It's your fault that you're in that condition. If you had chosen to love me rather than that useless man, our family would be happy. Perhaps I would've accepted Yazed as my own son."Both Amber and Jenny's eyes widened at Edwin's revelation."Were you surprised? You thought I didn't know that you only married me so that your child would know someone as a father?" Edwin became grim remembering the past.Amber tried to pull her hand that Edwin grabbed, but he only gripped her tighter."But do you want to know how you ended up alone after loving him more than yourself?" He laughed. "He did not run away from responsibility as what you were told." Edwin brought his grinning face closer t
AS the wedding approaches, Yazed felt like he's suffocating. Jenny became clingy. She wanted to decide for almost everything on their wedding. He wanted a simple wedding, but it had turned grand. He was just relieved because she didn't ask why they were getting married overseas. He had a friend who lived in the U.S.A. and it was he who arranged their venue.He had already told himself to put aside his special feelings for Kailani. To leave her to the man who can fight for her and love her completely. But every time he saw her talking to James, he felt frustrated.Because of how she took care of his mother, his admiration for her grew even more. He now believed that she didn't have an affair with his father. Earlier, when he saw that Edwin was going to hurt her, he was very worried. If Jenny wasn't there, he might have hugged Kailani and let her know that he won't let his father hurt her.Yazed quickly drank the wine in the glass in his hand. He was drinking alone in his room and thin
"USELESS!" Edwin angrily hit the table when Dino informed him that he failed the mission.James smiled mockingly. "What happened? You had two people with you, but the person you're going after escaped you?"Dino glared at James. Before, he was the one who insulted his capability. But now he was in the hot seat."I want you to get rid of whoever is protecting that lawyer first!" Edwin pointed at his subordinates one by one."James seems to be right, Boss. The person who watches over the lawyer is good and smart. He suddenly appears and acts before us." Reasoned one of Dino's companions."I don't care if he's good! He's solo and there were three of you!" Edwin was furious."Boss, maybe it would be better if you continue with the plan after your son's wedding. He might even be the reason for Yazed postponing the wedding when his lawyer is injured.""James is right, Boss." For the first time, Dino agreed with James.The tip of James' lips lifted and he proudly faced Dino. He knew that he
"KAILANI, Sir Yazed wants to talk to you." A maid called the woman while holding the phone.Jenny's chest heaved when she heard the man's name. She hadn't seen him all day because he was busy in the office. They finished having dinner without him because he didn't come home yet. She wanted to sulk because he seemed to forget about her when he was with her impostor."Hey!"Jenny frowned when she heard Yazed's greeting. His voice was husky from the other line and it was quite noisy around him."Have you and Mommy eaten yet?"He still used a formal tone when talking to her. She wasn't sure about the level of their relationship now. Before she could answer him, she heard Jennelyn's voice."Yazed, the food is about to be served." Jennelyn called the man softly. He excused himself earlier to make a call. But she was upset that he distanced himself from her as if he didn't want her to know who he was talking to.Yazed turned to Jenny and signaled that he would follow. He waited for the perso
WHEN Yazed entered their house, the surroundings were quiet. It was already late at night so most of them were asleep except for one maid who was waiting for him to come home."Good evening, Sir. Shall I prepare you something to eat?" the maid politely asked the man."No need, Aunt. How is Mommy?" He asked while leaning his back against the sofa."I saw that Kailani cooked the food she wanted to eat.""How about her?""Who?" The maid asked him in confusion."Kailani, did she eat?"A small smile appeared on the lady's lips. If only Jenny wasn't in her master's life, she could tell there was a spark between the two."I ate with her earlier, but she didn't finish her food." She was only telling the truth to the man. She asked Kailani if she didn't like the food. She answered that she was still full.Yazed stood up quickly, "Go to sleep, Aunt."The maid obeyed immediately after Yazed turned his back. She watched him until he entered his mother's room before deciding to enter the room for
"WHY are you doing that? Aren't you going to work?" Edwin asked Yazed when he saw him in Amber's room."Mommy's caregiver is sick, so I'm taking care of her myself." Yazed answered dismissively.He skipped work because he was worried about Kailani. He probably overdid it last night. She had a fever when he woke up. He wanted to take care of her and his mother, so he didn't go to work. He didn't want to just entrust them to the maid.Edwin looked at the medicine on the tray. It was still the medicine he gave to Kailani. "It seems that she has been slacking off since her service was transferred to you. Admit it to me, do you like that woman?"Yazed saw his father doubting his feelings for Kailani. But he had to lie because he will surely make a way for her to disappear from their path if he found out about them."Will I agree to marry Jenny if your suspicions are correct? What's important to me is Mommy's health, so don't make up ridiculous things. Until now, I know you have an affair w
WHEN Jenny entered the mansion, she was suddenly nervous. Yazed's car was not in the garage. That meant he left his mother in the care of her impostor. She rushed inside and went straight to Amber's room."Shit! What are you doing?" She walked towards Jennelyn with big steps and grabbed the syringe from her.Jennelyn trembled in fear because she was surprised by Kailani's sudden appearance. She was obviously guilty of a crime. But she was relieved because she was the only one who saw what she did. She became bold and she faced the woman."You! Don't you know how to knock, huh? And who are you to question what I'm doing?" She pointed at her with one hand on her waist."I am her nurse, so I have the right to criticize you because I am the one to blame when something bad happens to my patient!"Jennelyn flinched slightly because of how mad Kailani was. "I will report you to Godfather Edwin!" She threatened.The tip of Jennifer's lips twitched and she gave her cousin an insulting look. "T
IN the middle of the night, Jennifer peeked into the living room. She sensed if anyone was still awake at that time. It was one a.m. so the maids were probably sleeping well. She slowly approached Jennelyn's room to see if she was still awake. Next was Edwin's room. She walked in tiptoes so as not to create noise."Buddy, get us a drink first to relieve sleepiness." The guard ordered his companion. Only the two of them were awake every night to keep watch of the mansion.James waited for the other to leave before cautiously approaching the man left behind. He was wearing black clothes and only his eyes were visible so he could not be recognized even if he was seen on the surveillance camera."Uhmm!"The man fought and tried to break free from James' stranglehold on him, but the latter was stronger. He also immediately covered his nose and mouth with the handkerchief with sleeping medicine.After making sure that the man was asleep, James made him sit up. He looked like he fell asleep
